Message:: [QUOTE="CoinOKC, post: 76952, member: 2146"]I hate to sound like a sourpuss, but I don't think the State Quarters will have much value in 20 years. Just look at the Bicentennial coins and observe what their value is today. The problem with the State Quarters is that they're EXTREMELY popular these days. MILLIONS of people are hoarding them. Once the newness wears off, the interest will wane. However, those same millions will still have collections of State Quarters laying dormant in their attics, closets, basements, etc. There will ALWAYS be a supply of the State Quarters, but in the future, I'm afraid there won't be a tremendous demand. My mom and I began collecting the State Quarters in 1999. Our favorite way to collect them was by putting the very first one of each state that we found in circulation into a folder. My mom has since passed away, but I keep the tradition alive. So, the first new quarter I find in my pocket change goes into the folder.  After the State Quarter series ends in 2008, my collection will be worth $12.50. And it will remain that same value for many, many, MANY years to come. But, its sentimental value to me will be priceless. So, if you plan on collecting the State Quarters in order to turn a profit, I suggest investing your money elsewhere...[/QUOTE]
